05/15/2006 Entry: "Warp 5 Complex update complete"
The Warp 5 Complex fanfic archive has been fully transferred to the new software. The old archive has been deleted. The last few authors with a corpus of fic are being input. We also have a few new authors at the site, so be sure to check it out. Thanks to the Warp 5 Complex admins for their ongoing acquisition acumen!
We've had a few problems during the transition. Some Hotmail addresses refuse to accept e-mail generated by the fic-archiving script, which means that that authors request a password but one is never received. I theorize that Hotmail is zapping it, because other e-mail addresses work fine, and when I change author addresses to a non-Hotmail account, suddenly the author can request a password. I've figured out a way around this, so if you're affected, contact me and I'll set you up with a password.
Further, some people noted that the entstcommunity domain e-mail addresses bounced. To address this, we've set up gmail addresses and published them throughout the site. Also, authors should feel free to e-mail me directly, and if I can't help you, I can forward your e-mail to the proper person.
The feedback about the site has been overwhelmingly positive. Authors like the opportunity to alter their own fic, and most everybody finds the software easy to use. In addition, the security of having e-mail addresses unavailable to others has reassured many authors.
We're always looking for more authors, so if you're not on Warp 5 and want to be, feel free to set up an account and upload your fic! We'd love to have it.
